ASYURA　 Introduction

■Introduction
The making process of this paper craft is divided into seven sections– pedestal (Daiza), legs(Ashi), clothes(Koromo), body(Karada), arms(Ude), heads(Atama), and hands(Te).

■Tips for making
Follow symbols and marks in each of the parts and in the photo images (photo description).
Each tabs for sticking have guide numbers. In complicated processes, those numbers will be helpful. (However, it is not always strictly guiding as this craft making has complex structure. Sometimes flexible thinking is needed.)
It is important not to lose the right positions of dotted lines to make the create shape. (If you miss the positions, you can gently tear out the parts. If unable to tear out, you should adjust the shapes flexibly.)
When parts need to be sharpened, you should bend along the dotted lines.
Cut only necessary parts out when you cut them from a page. (It is better not to cut parts for other processes.)
Adjust the shape first once small parts have been glued.
Make borderlines between the tabs to allow them to stick better, do this by making notches and bending slightly. It will help to make the shapes correctly. If you cut tabs by mistake, you can stick additional papers as the tabs. Don’t worry!

Please do not use a plastic ruler due to that is it slippery. There is more possibility of injury.

■Materials and Tools
A cutting knife, scissors, an adhesive, and a tiny stick (a cocktail stick, a wire, a pin e.t.c.)
A fluid adhesive is recommended. When you need to glue small parts, a tiny stick will help your molding.

■ consider the condition and maintenance of the model, paper can be effected by water and humidity. If joint parts are visible too much, you can reduce it by a pencil (3B or deeper).
